Connected project: Venom by Cates & Stegman

Event conclusion Venom War is the finale movement after Venom (2021) #1–34, not a direct jump from the Cates omnibus.
Things to know

Collecting rule: Acquire both lean finale paperbacks, then interleave their issues at the documented checkpoint; do not add the tie-in-heavy Venom War Omnibus.

Edition note: Eight numbered Venom paperbacks connect to the Venom War core. Venom (2021) #21 remains a separate reading checkpoint.

  • Venom (2021) #21 is covered by the earlier reading checkpoint rather than presented as a physical book.
  • Venom Vol. 8 and Venom War interleave issue by issue, as shown in the reading checkpoints.
